Based on the book, he has created a timeline of the predicted extinction of various things. See it in a pdf.

He predicts "physical newspapers" will disappear shortly before 2050 ...

They will disappear about the same time Google does, but will outlive petrol-engined vehicles, free roads, national currencies, the European Union, Microsoft, the middle class, spam and Rocky films ...

Oddly, newspaper delivery will disappear about 2012, according to his timeline ...

So for 38 years, we'll be driving our cheese-powered cars along neighborhood tollways down to the newsstand in the old part of town to pick up the paper. (The newsophiles say you can't beat the analog version. The imperfections give it warmth and soul.)

Roy Peter Clark, of The Poynter Institute, created an uproar when he suggested it was a journalist's duty to buy a newspaper. Many journalists scoffed at the idea of "a bake sale," or "a pledge drive" to save the newspaper industry.

Boingboing has rediscovered a post-apocalyptic novel written in 1905 about New York in 2015. In "The Doomsman," by Van Tassel Sutphen, an epidemic has wiped out civilization except for Doom, once known as New York City. Criminals and the dregs of society have converged there, while the rest live in the surrounding forests, fighting and hunting with bow and arrow like "that of England in the early days of Saxon settlement."

One man travels Upstate to discover a small group of people who worship the last electric-powered machine. What that machine turns out to be was a nice touch.

You can download "The Doomsman" as a free e-book at Manybooks.net and read it on your mobile. But hurry -- 2015 is only eight years away.
